For more information please call 250.287.2261.

He uses various motifs and cultural symbols to combine boyhood themes of masculinity and heroism with conflicting adult frustrations. Nickels and Dimes will be in the Main Gallery from Aug. 31 to Oct. 26. The Gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday 12-5pm.
